Drones In
The Classroom Hybrid Training

The purpose of this project, to implement a comprehensive drone piloting, coding, and data collecting curriculum for the upper elementary and middle school aged students (4th – 8th grade) This curriculum offers both hands on experiences and teaches problem solving skills using math and reading.

 

The curriculum is designed to take a student with little or no prior experience and guide them to be able to pilot, then eventually program the Ironman Hero Mini drone, and Robomaster TT drone to perform a task. The tutorial style videos will guide students through the steps with clarity and ease. The on-line videos were designed to make it easy for students to pause, or back up to further grasp key concepts in the Drone Blocks and Java Script STEM lessons.

 

Coming 2023, Kindergarten – 3rd grade STEM platform.

Future Drones

Why Drone Learning?

A new report from Samsung’s Alternative Careers Guide, released back in August 2020 discovered that 16-to-18-year-olds are no longer interested in traditional jobs such as becoming an accountant, teacher or lawyer. Instead, they sparked more interest in digital roles – with a drone operator being amongst the top ten most popular dream careers.

 

Over recent years, it has become increasingly common for teachers to utilize interactive learning tools such as drones within the classroom. By welcoming drones into the classroom, teachers have a new way of making learning more fun, innovative and interactive for children. Drones also provide students with the opportunity to learn about technology that they may wish to base their future career on.

Drones Teaching the Laws of Physics

It is a well-known part of the science education program that students are taught about the laws of physics. Flying drones can provide very real examples of how physical laws work such as Newtons 3rd law for example ‘an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force’.

 

To teach the first law of motion, our instructors can demonstrate to the students how, if no controls are pressed, the drone stays in place. The drone cannot hover or move unless the controls are used to power the motor and run the propellers – an outside force. In this drone focused way, students learn the laws of physics in a fun and interactive way.

Math Teaching Tool

Mathematics can be a challenging subject to teach younger students, however using engaging tools such as drones can give a real world application to mathematical problems and equations, helping students not only realize the great power of this subject, but also to see the actual result of their work.

 

Schools around the world are experimenting with drones – a school in Bangkok is having students learn how to make and read graphs, calculate distances, and acquire some basic trigonometry concepts by following the path of different drones.

Drones Developing Motor Skills and Hand-Eye Coordination

Hand-eye coordination is a crucial skill that is taught amongst the majority of young educational programs. From netball to tennis, sports were once thought to be the best way to improve hand-eye coordination.

 

Although sports are still one way to teach this skill set, drones have proven to be another alternative. Drones require a lot of focus to use while navigating from one destination to another and drones can help develop depth perception by requiring the user to judge the distance in space that the drone is flying.

 

Giving students other options to build these necessary fine motor skills means that students are more likely to find success and a niche for themselves that they enjoy and may practice at home or with friends.

Drones Teaching Coding

Coding is one of the most popular jobs in the world right now that is seeing an excess of students navigating towards that career. Learning how to code can be less intimidating if students use drones for hands-on learning experience.

 

In the same way many schools have adopted robots to provide a frame that allows students to experience first-hand the effects of their code, many educators are using drones to engage students into writing programs that allow drones to conduct autonomous flights. This can be very useful to teach computational thinking, and help younger students realize the great power of those skills.

Mathematics and
Reading

This curriculum and support technology will challenge students in problem solving, team work, focus, coding and computational thinking. There are many programs that offer robotics, automation and programing, but there are  few programs or curriculum sets that offer drone piloting, coding, autonomous robot operations, data collection artificial intelligence coupled with problem solving, and computational thinking at the 4th-8th grade level. 

 

Artificial Intelligence coupled with hands on learning can help address a critical need, according to the Nations Report Card, students are falling behind in math and reading brought on by school closings during the pandemic. So we encourage education leaders to modify this curriculum to help address their specific instructional needs. This technology can be a strong asset and training resource to help students better connect with the world of science and technology.

 

You may consider this project as a high school preparatory 8th grade course.
